For the past 30 years, Bayside Personnel has been sourcing talented technical professionals worldwide to meet Australia’s oil and gas needs.

“Our clients are often willing to compensate for relocation, and the Australian government also provides a Living Away From Home Allowance to eligible recipients,” says Robert Blanche, Director of Bayside Personnel. “Travelling for work has definitive benefits in terms of financial and career progression, and life experiences.” As a life member of the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association, Robert has worked actively to minimise candidate shortages.

Experienced engineers such as Joe Smith, who has worked with Bayside for many years, are also returning to Australia for work. With 24 years experience in the petrochemical and oil and gas industries, Joe has worked in Europe, Africa, South East Asia, the Middle East and Australia.

Joe says he was attracted to the pipeline industry because he is able to earn good money, be challenged personally and professionally, visit many different countries and work with a diverse group of people. “From a professional viewpoint, it has enabled me to learn about new and different engineering practices and broaden my experience.”

The pipeline community is truly international, and Joe has enjoyed many of the benefits that come with the industry, saying, “I have had the opportunity to meet lot of different characters and make many great friends.”

Bayside Personnel has sent more than 100 oil and gas professionals to the Middle East. Dennis Anderson of Bayside Personnel’s international recruitment division believes the key attractions are tax free salaries, the experience and the amazing career opportunities. “Our candidates travel to the Middle East to work with the biggest oil and gas producers in the world.”

With an engineering and technical focus, Bayside Personnel recruit construction professionals, pipeline engineers, consultants, project managers and government regulation staff to the pipeline industry.
